Taking Stock - November 2017

Welcome to a new monthly segment called Stock Taking, I found this idea from a blog called Yes and Yes. So please go check out her blog and say hi. I wanted to try something different, this is kind of link a monthly favourites post but adds a little personal depth to it. I've personalised the list a little. Let me know if you like it.

Taking Stock: November

Baking & Cooking:

Sadly no baking this month but I did make a Pork and Apple stew this month, it was super yummy and there was enough left over for lunch the next day. It's a great comfort food in the colder months.

Making:

I have not made anything for ages but I am planning my Christmas DIYs, I will be starting them soon.

Drinking:

Plenty of tea of many varieties. I have been hitting the fruit tea and earl grey hard this month. The hot chocolate has also made a show of itself because the chill has reared it's ugly head.

Reading:

North Sea Hunters By Brad Harmer-Barnes

After Days by Scott Medbury

Listening:

I have just been listening to these audiobooks in the background.
Rosemary and Rue (An October Daye Novel #1) Seanan McGuire - Toby Daye is always one of my favourite fall-backs in audio and physical books.


And After (Until The End of The World #2) by Sarah Lyons Fleming. - This series has also made it into my fall-backs, I love them so much, the narrator Julia Whelan is awesome as well. Julia also has a new book coming out soon called 'My Oxford Year', which is also going to be made into a movie so keep an eye on that one.
